I've had that done a few times on my commute by the same guy. Except every time he was on an e-bike and getting pedal assist, so I was rolling my eyes like crazy.

Speaking of pedal assist, there's this younger guy on an e-bike with a reverse commute to mine, and I see him almost every morning that I ride. He rides with his saddle way too low, so his knees fly out like he's Charlie Chaplin, but he always rides with a huge grin on his face, so good for him.

I rode in for the first time this week as the smoke has mostly cleared. It was 57F, about 15F cooler than last week, so even though I was still being paranoid about not pushing too hard, I noticed a big jump in my heart rate, but got to work hardly sweaty. Drop 5F more and it'd be perfect.
